GEORGE LEROY CALLAHAN 116 Walnut Street Cal, our popular President, has been Editorial Editor of Commerce , and Vice-President and Secretary of the Junior Hi-Y. George has displayed his usual versatility during Education Week, in the A Capella Choir, and in baseball, basketball, soccer, and football. Besides serving on many social committees, our famous president was prominent in the Boys’ Patrol and Senior Hi-Y MARY ITALIA CAMPOFREDANO 38 Olive Street Now watch me closely! Cark-eyed Squad Leader Mary has repeated this command so often that we feel she should make an excellent gym. teacher. Mary is ford of dancing: so she volunteered her services on the XIA Dance Committee. THERESA MARIE CATALANO 127 Thompson Street Her sweet voice and gentle manner have endeared Theresa to the heart of many a Commerce classmate. Tessy’s shy, yet winning, smile is more appealing than those of many of her more boisterous classmates. PAULINE CHRISTOS 2051 Main Street Robust Pauly has wholeheartedly enjoyed basketball, for which she received her C ; Co-rec: the Class Day Committee; Assemblies; and the Student Library Service. Only once did Pauly step out of character: when she played the calm, quiet mother in The Typical American Home . MARGARET JEANETTE CLARK 152 Bowles Street Our fencing champion has learned how to handle the foils at Commerce; so it was no surprise to us when she won the Hartford Fencing Meet. Eager to be active. Margaret has enjoyed collecting G. 0. and Camera Club dues, horseback riding, roller skating, ushering, serving in the library, belonging to the Le Foyer Club, and taking pictures for Caduceus . TOULA C0K0TIS 58 Linden Street The most stubborn of buyers will weaken when Toula flashes her infectious smile and speaks in her quiet voice. Always ready to help, Toula responded to the call for Student Librarians. They say book worms prefer the dark, but we believe even they have enjoyed Toula’s sunny disposition. HAROLD J. COLEMAN 223 High Street Harold, best known for his bagpipe playing, has been President of the XIA class and of the Junior Hi-Y. He represented Hi-Y in the Western Mass. Conference and in the Older Boys’ Con- ference at Brockton. Jock, besides serving on many socials, was Business Manager of Caduceus , a member of the Boys’ Patrol, the A Capella Choir, and participant in the War Chest Program and of many dramatic presentations. RUTH LILLIAN COLEMAN 36 Melbourne Street Mischievous, Jovial, and often in wrong with her teachers, Ruth has found her tongue to be a dependable comrade in times of war—War of Imminent Detention. She has talked herself happily into battle and as easily has talked herself out of trouble. Her interest as a Squad Leader and in apparatus work has been a happy outlet for Ruth. I

 ELLA MARY BIERMAYER 49 Prospect Street Fun-loving Ella's trademark is her expansive smile. Her grin was especially evident when she obtained numerals for softball! No matter how busy she was as a Squad Leader, in the Glee Club, or as a member of the Banquet Committee. Ella never frowned. GENEVA BORSELLI 23 Ledyard Street Geneva of the golden voice will have all of Commerce cheering when she begins her career of singing. Geneva's con- tribution to Commerce has been on the lips of every senior—the class song. Working on the Lunch Room Squad, acting as a Squad Leader, and participating in assemblies have been a few of tho duties that have played a clear-toned second fiddle to her musical accomplishments. CATHERINE BARBARA BRACCI 36 Stocker Street Kay frequently and cheerfully emerged from behind a stack of books to make out a receipt for some student's belated G. 0. dues. With equal willingness, she ushered at the Christmas play and acted as a member of the Promenade Committee. RHODA LEE BRESKY 94 Rockland Street Rhoda Lee—no relation to Robert E. Lee—must possess some of his strategy to have kept up with her work as G. 0. Senior Auditor, and as a member of the Commerce News Staff. She also has served on the XB. XA, and XIA socials. EILEEN BROWN 34 Colfax Street Brown-eyed Eileen dreams of becoming a career woman in New York. Here in Commerce she has been president of the Knitting Club, in Christmas assemblies, and on the Student Library Service. We doubt very much, however, whether in exciting New York she will spend all of her time working, knitting, and reading! DOROTHEA MAE BRUSO 105 Everett Street Small, dark. Dodo will, no doubt, be listed in the 1957 Who's Who as a talented pianist. Although music may have been her first love, Dodo also has enjoyed being a Squad Leader while here at Commerce. DOROTHEA GERTRUDE BUMPUS 50 Washington Street Dot Bumpus may be the Clara Barton of World War II if she carries out her ambition to become a nurse. Dot has kept her figure slim in preparation for that rustling uniform by taking an active interest in tennis. As a smiling, efficient usher in the Christmas program, her light-footed speed also gave a hint of the career she hopes to follow. GLORIA JANE BURLEY 59 Maynard Street Hollywood just missed another June Presser when Gloria skated into second honors in the Hartford Queen of the Ice Con- test. She has been outstanding in the Tennis, Riding, Bowling, Outing, and Nisimaha Clubs, as well as among the Squad Leaders and G. 0. Homeroom Agents. Gloria acted on the Class Social, Decoration, and Class Day Program Committees; and, very appro- priately, as the daughter in The Typical American Family . A

OLGA ANN COMINI 52 Wilcox Street Raven-haired Olga's sparkling personality will be a decided asset to her in the future. Her eagerness to lend a helping hand made her Treasurer of Circolo Dante and an enthusiastic member of Miss Libby's band of librarians. Tiny Olga looked lost in our big library. CARMELLA MARIE COMPANO 934 Berkshire Avenue, Indian Orchard Carmella has very often been compared with a mechanical toy; she's all wound up, but never seems to run down! She became a member of the Nisimaha Club, and acted as on usher for the graduation of the class of 1942. If you decide to give a party, Carmella would be glad to help you plan your fun. GEORGE PAUL COOK 59 High Street Although seemingly quiet. Cookie has been a Class Repre- sentative, a member of the Boys' Patrol, and has ployed on the Baseball and Basketball teams. George's real interest, however, lies outside of these activities. His heart belongs to music— especially to drumming. At Commerce he was the drummer for Pina- fore and American Fantasia . What's your goal, Cookie, Kruppa's equal? RUTH COOPER 188 Commonwealth Avenue Ruth would love nothing better than lounging: yet she has encountered many interruptions from Le Foyer, Radio Workshop, Caduceus , and the First Aid Class. Ruthie also sacrificed her love of loafing when she worked for the Christmas and the Civics Assembly Programs, as an Usher, a Homeroom Reporter, in the XB Fashion Show, and on two Senior Committees. DORIS PAULINE CORMIER 30 Commonwealth Avenue Whenever Doris is around, laughter is sure to abound! Smiling Dot has been a member of the Banquet Ticket Committee and of the Nisimaha Club. She has been a Squad Leader, and an usher at a P. T. A. meeting and the Christmas Assembly Program After-school store work seemed to increase her genuine love of people. HILDA MARGARET CUMMING 20 Vermont Street Hilda has crammed all she possibly could into her school days. Besides singing in the Glee Club and being in the Squad Leaders and Modern Dance group, she has won C's and her G. A. A. Pin for hockey, soccer, basketball, and baseball. To fill her time, Hilda has been a member of Nisimaha, the Girls' Patrol, and Commerce and Caduceus Staffs. Not a wasted minute for Hilda! SHIRLEY RUTH CUTTING 92 Miller Street Shirley's beautiful penmanship, which won her a certificate, proved its value when she was called upon to address invitations for the January and June Class Promenade and Banquet. Shirley has been a member of the Student Library Service and an usher at a Class Dance. EDA ANNE DANIELE 254 Hancock Street Such lively spirit and animation as one sees reflected in Eda's eyes is characteristic of her participation in the First Aid Class, Christmas Assembly Program, the Radio Workshop, and Promenade and Banquet Committees. Gay, too. was her work as G. 0. Agent, Student Librarian, and Co-chairman of ushering for the Christmas Assembly.
